Biting question with zirconia crown
Sir, I have suggested that never bite anything with your crowned teeth. It is not a natural teeth. Dentist suggested me even not to bite an apple. She told me that it gives pressure on crowned teeth. That's why you can't bite anything with your front crowned teeth. Is it true? Then how can I eat.. I am in too young age (20years). Please clarify my doubts regarding biting.
This depends on which tooth that has been crowned. If it is you front tooth/teeth, yes you should avoid biting/incising on it. This is especially so if the dentist has put a 'post and core' into the tooth.
If it is back tooth, biting should not be as critical an issue as front tooth. But having said these, the dynamic of your biting can only be examined by the clinicians who have seen you.
Next Steps
Follow the instructions given by your dentist.
